800 Twenty-eight groups visited, communicated and studied
Use commandos to infiltrate Shizhuang Station, seize the opportunity to intercept Japanese military rations on the way, and transport the food away quietly.
The commando's special operation was undoubtedly very successful.
After the Japanese train No. 136 entered Taiyuan Station, a big explosion occurred, and the news was not concealed from the circulation.
All forces were shocked by this.
Everyone knows that the Japanese army strengthened the defense of various railway lines during this period in order to prevent the Eighth Route Army from ambushing transport railway lines.
It can even be said that the protection of the main railway line is impregnable.
Everyone thought that not long ago, the Independent Regiment took the opportunity to seize the three transportation lines of the Japanese First Army.
That was the final result the Eighth Route Army could achieve.
But it happened at this moment when everyone was watching.
The Japanese thought they had no flaws in their defense.
An entire No. 136 train carrying more than a thousand tons of grain was missing.
However, an empty train carrying a bomb was detonated at Taiyuan Station, killing dozens of Japanese.
"Well done!"
After Li Wenjie reported to the brigade headquarters and learned the ins and outs of the matter, the brigade commander expressed great appreciation.
The political commissar on the side also sighed with emotion: "What a good Kong Jie, you really have a lot of crooked ideas.
I thought that the Japanese had strengthened the defense of the transportation line and we would have no chance.
This guy is so smart that he even arranged for a commando team to infiltrate Shizhuang in advance, infiltrate from the source of the Jaap train station, and take the opportunity to shoot down the Jaap train halfway."
"Thousands of tons of military rations have been lost at once. This little devil is probably going to have another headache!"
...a team headquarters.
Duan Peng led the commandos to the headquarters and reported back to Kong Jie.
Looking at the commando team standing neatly in front of him, not a single member is missing.
Kong Jie’s smile is very bright.
"Good boy, this time you infiltrated Shizhuang and intercepted the Japanese army rations. You did a great job!"
Smiling and punching the strong Duan Peng in the chest, Kong Jie said: "This combat mission has been successfully completed. I will personally apply to the brigade commander later to record credit for your commando team.
This food robbery mission has been all the way. Thank you for your hard work. Duan Peng, please take your comrades back and have a good rest first!
There is no need for you to go to Jizhong. There will be no problems if the monk is here.
There are still many places where commandos are needed in the follow-up detachment!"
"Yes!" Duan Peng responded, turned around and led the team members away from the headquarters.
Looking at the backs of Duan Peng and his entourage striding away, Chief of Staff Xu Guoan couldn't help but sigh:
"Lao Kong, I didn't quite understand the special operations of this commando you proposed.
I have heard of the commando night attack on the Japanese Mingbao Airport before, but I have never seen it with my own eyes.
At present, it seems that the role that such a small combat force with adequate training and bold tactics can play at a critical moment is truly incredible."
Xu Guoan sighed a few words, and then the two of them talked about the current situation of the 28th Regiment in Jizhong.
Kong Jie said with a smile: "According to what the monk and I explained, Lao Lu's 28th Regiment should have entered the fourth stage now.
After the 28th Regiment’s major training, it should not be far from the other regiments in central Hebei Province to go to the 28th Regiment for exchanges and studies.”
……
……
Jizhong.
28th Regiment Station.
The development process of the 28th Regiment is indeed as Kong Jie expected.
Since the commander of the 28th Regiment, Lu Dayou, under the advice of Monk, Duan Peng and Kong Jie, started a large-scale training of the entire 28th Regiment, it has been going on for more than a month so far.
Under the leadership of Lu Dayou.
The entire 28th Regiment followed the old path taken by the independent regiment, in order to cope with the increasingly serious disasters and the increasingly dangerous enemy environment.
On the one hand, it is to conduct large-scale military training of the whole regiment, strengthen the training of the troops, strengthen the construction of local militia forces, and strengthen communication and collaborative operations with local troops.
On the other hand, the policy of better troops and simpler administration is implemented in the entire 28th Regiment base area.
Reduce the size of the original army.
Reduce the ratio of retired personnel in the army.
The reduced cadres were sent to various places to assist in the construction of local troops and militia forces, while reducing the logistical pressure on the 28th Regiment.
Concentrate more equipment and ammunition on the elite main force of the 28th Regiment.
As for the more than one month of large-scale military training and the implementation of elite troops and streamlined administration, the effect is naturally extremely significant.
Not long ago, the Japanese army launched a large-scale raid on Jizhong.
Especially for the 28th Regiment, which has been the most powerful recently, more than a dozen tanks and armored vehicles were dispatched to cooperate with the infantry in the sweep.
As a result, the massive Japanese mopping up troops seemed to be trapped in a quagmire after entering the 28th Regiment's garrison.
Under the leadership of Commander Lu.
The 28th Regiment immediately launched an anti-tank and anti-mopping operation.
Not only did they successfully destroy the Japanese tank troops, they also successfully completed the counter-mopping operation, severely damaging the Japanese and puppet troops who came to mop up the 28th Regiment, and taking the lead in breaking the Japanese mopping up encirclement, which led to the Japanese launching this attack on the Jizhong Military Region.
The second major sweep ended in failure.
So far.
The 28th Regiment became famous in one battle.
Then, Lu Dayou reported to Commander Jizhong about the large-scale military training conducted by the 28th Regiment during this period, as well as the construction and transformation of the army to streamline its troops and streamline its administration.
The commander immediately made up his mind and called on cadres at all levels from central Hebei and even southern Hebei to visit, exchange and learn from the 28th Regiment.
This kind of thing actually happened in the Taihang Base Area.
At that time, in the Taihang base area, cadres at all levels visited Kong Jie's independent group for visits, exchanges and learning.
Commander Jizhong also heard about this. It is said that after the exchange and learning from the independent regiment, after the commanders of the regiments in the Taihang base area returned to their respective regiments, they were like chicken blood, and they were frantically carrying out internal activities.
Troop training and construction.
Nowadays, the competition between military training and operations among the various units in the Taihang Base Area is so fierce that it is simply mind-numbing.
I heard that Kong Jie even put forward a special slogan:
"Strengthen the construction of the army, strengthen the economic development of the base area, and kill other regiments!"
The word "juan" expresses the essence.
This kind of healthy competition is very worthy of promotion in the view of Commander Jizhong.
28th Regiment Headquarters.
When the news about the commander came, cadres at all levels, regimental leaders, and political commissars from Central Hebei and Southern Hebei would rush to the 28th Regiment to visit, communicate, and learn.
For a moment, the 28th regiment, which seemed to be surrounded by stars and attracted much attention, could be said to have stolen the limelight.
A few days ago, even Ding Wei, the former leader of the 28th Regiment, personally called to congratulate him and praised Lu Dayou's awakening over the phone.
At this moment, the smile on Lu Dayou's face is enough to witness his inner smugness.
Lu Dayou, who understood who brought all this to him, immediately called the monk and went to the regiment headquarters to discuss the matter of welcoming cadres at all levels to visit, exchange and study with the 28th regiment.
During the discussion between the two parties, Lu Dayou asked directly: "Monk, when your independent group welcomed cadres at all levels to visit, communicate, and study, how did Lao Confucius arrange everyone?"
The monk thought for a while and replied: "The group leader said that when cadres at all levels visit, communicate, and learn from the Independent Group, they actually want to learn what makes the Independent Group outstanding.
In other words, the superiors want to show everyone the shining points of the independent group that are worthy of learning from other groups.
Therefore, the group leader said, since cadres at all levels are coming to visit our independent group, we must bring out something real for everyone to see.
We have to let cadres at all levels understand that the development of our independent group to this point is one step at a time, and there is no luck."
Having said this, the monk smiled and added:
"The group leader also said that cadres at all levels came to visit our independent group.
On the one hand, the leaders of other regiments come to the independent regiment to learn from their experience.
On the other hand, this is actually the biggest opportunity for our independent group."
"What opportunity?" Captain Lu asked, he seemed to have grasped the key point.
The monk recalled Kong Jie's original words at that time and slowly said: "The opportunity to promote yourself specifically means...
..."
"You want what you want, so that's what happened. Hey, this old Kong has a really good brain!"
"It turns out that we can still have fun like this. If we dare other cadres at all levels to visit the independent group, it will actually become an opportunity for Lao Kong to make a fortune!"
"Then what should I do specifically?" Lu Dayou asked the key question.
The monk smiled and recommended someone to Lu Dayong.
"Shi Dahu!"
"Yeah, why did I forget about him? With Lao Shi here, there will definitely be no problems with this matter!"
During the discussion between the two, Lu Dayou nodded frequently, and finally adopted a series of suggestions given by the monk with deep understanding.
Just like that, time flashed to the fifth day.
According to the instructions of the commander of Jizhong, Jizhong includes cadres at all levels from Jinan, including a considerable number of regimental-level cadres, regimental leaders, and political commissars.
There are also deputy commanders and chiefs of staff.
All 28 groups came to visit, exchange and learn.
Early in the morning, Captain Lu personally led the welcoming team to the station entrance and warmly welcomed the arrival of all the cadres.
Some old regiment leaders who were close to Lu Dayou said with emotion when they met: "Old Lu, you have shown your face this time.
The Japanese launched a large-scale raid for the first time, and your 28th regiment was the most outstanding. It fought brilliantly in anti-tank combat. I heard that it destroyed more than a dozen Japanese tanks and armored vehicles in one go.
Let’s all come together this time to visit your 28th group and exchange and learn.
Lao Lu, you can't hide your secrets in fighting tanks and counter-mopping up!
We are all here to learn from you!"
Hahahaha——
"Old comrades, what are you talking about? Let's go, let's go into the yard first!"
Captain Lu spoke loudly with a smile on his face, and led a group of cadres to the yard where the 28th Regiment Headquarters was located.
After entering the courtyard, because there were too many cadres, everyone moved benches in the courtyard to sit down and talk.
Then the orderlies came and brought tea jars for the cadres at all levels, and also carried hot water kettles to pour tea for everyone.
Drinking the fragrant tea, looking at the clean and bright courtyard, and what I saw along the way, the entire 28th Regiment seemed to have a completely new look.
Although Lu Dayou, the host, has not yet entered the topic.
The Eighth Route cadres at all levels who came to visit and exchange and learn seemed to have felt something different.
After joking for a while, one of the group leaders directly said:
"Lao Lu, let's stop with all this nonsense and get down to business! This time we come to your 28th group for exchange and study. We are not here to enjoy tea.
Captain Lu smiled and nodded: "Old Zhou, if you are impatient, let's get started!"
The cadres all showed expressions of expectation.
Under the leadership of Lu Dayou, a group of cadres rushed to the bunk where the soldiers of the 28th Regiment slept.
The faces of the cadres are actually full of doubts. Everyone comes here to see the military training and troop building of your 28th Regiment.
What are you doing here sleeping in Tongbu?
But after entering the house and seeing clearly the situation inside the Tongpu, the cadres who came to visit and exchange fell silent.
I saw a large bunk made up of more than a dozen bunks connected together. At a glance, the soldiers had folded the quilts neatly, like pieces of tofu, and placed them in the center of the bed. p>
Although on the quilt and the flat sheets, one can see conspicuous patches one after another.
Pairs of cloth shoes were placed neatly near the base of the wall. The tops of some cloth shoes were broken by the thumbs of the soldiers, and they were also patched with rags.
There is a window open in the back of the shop, and under the window is a briquette stove with a kettle on it.
Through the firelight exposed in the gap between the bottom of the kettle and the briquette stove, it can be seen that the coal fire inside is still burning.
Lu Dayou also introduced at the side: "We don't have the conditions to replace the quilts and sheets with new ones, and most of them are still patched, but the regiment requires that they must be washed once a week, at least to ensure they are clean.
Soldiers are required to do personal housekeeping every day, including folding quilts, making beds, placing shoes and socks, washing, etc.
Each bunkhouse has hot water specially supplied by a honeycomb briquette stove. After boiling, the service staff will pour the hot water into a large water tank and let it dry to become cold and boiled, so that the soldiers can drink it at any time after training.
The regiment has issued an order that, except for boiled hot water and cold boiled water, all soldiers are not allowed to drink water from sources that are not clear whether they are clean or not, except under special circumstances."
During Lu Dayou's introduction, he was stunned for a long time before the leader said:
"Lao Lu, are the conditions in your group too particular?"
"The sheets and quilts are washed once a week, and I have to do housework. I can only drink cold boiled water or hot water."
"Let's not talk about whether our team has this condition. We have been focusing on this all day long. Do we still have time to train and fight against the Japanese?"
Faced with doubts, Captain Lu smiled.
He seemed to remember that when he questioned the monk, the monk made him speechless in reply.
So he asked calmly: "Old Chen, I want to ask you, even if we are far away, just this week, your regiment has been temporarily reduced due to illness. How many soldiers can't participate in daily work and battles?"
How many people?"
Captain Chen was stunned for a moment, thought for a moment, and replied: "At least there are more than 1,300 soldiers in our regiment.
I can’t remember the specifics, but during this period, autumn is here, the weather is cold and cool, and many of our soldiers are sick because of this.
I remember the political commissar told me that the Third Company had the fewest patients at that time, with only 11 people."
Captain Lu smiled and said: "There are 11 sick personnel in one company, and the number of people with the least source of illness is zero. If this were included in the entire regiment, there would be at least 100 people.
However, the situation is considered normal. Our Eighth Route Army troops have poor conditions and poor hygiene standards.
Normally, attrition occurs almost all the time because soldiers fall ill, and many soldiers even die of illness. This kind of direct non-combat attrition is the most heartbreaking!"
Captain Chen nodded in agreement, "Yes!"
He changed the subject: "It's just Lao Lu, why are you asking me?"
